Hollywood Video is exactly like BB, including "customer service." I
will say this: a couple months ago when I still had netflix and they,
as they do sometimes, sent me TV series disks out of order (it was
Sopranos, even though they claimed to have sent disk 2 a couple days
before sneding out disk 3, we didn't get disk 2 until well after the
weekend, long after disk 3) as they were in the middle of some massive
throttling. Well, we had disk 3 and couldn't watch it until we watched
disk 2 and this was on a Saturday, so we went all over. I live in Los
Angeles, so I had lots of video stores to go to, and I do not
exaggerate, we went to about four different BBs in hopes it might be
there (it wasn't), every mom and pop store we knew of until after about
ten stores, we ended up at the Hollywood video in Marina Del Rey and
they had the disk (a couple copies in fact). So I give them props for
that.
I can only imagine the idiot who thought of the Hollywood video design,
though. "Yeah, we'll put the most cliched famous movie lines all over
the store, it will enhance the patron's visit!"
